"Domaine Michel’s parcels in Vaudésir actually have a northerly exposition and are nicely sheltered, so they were spared much of the frost damage and the yields here were only off by about ten percent in 2021. The wine has turned out splendidly, offering up a bright and complex bouquet of lemon, apple, dried flowers, a marvelously complex base of minerality, incipient notes of beeswax and a nice touch of orange peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, fullbodied and very precise, with a great core of fruit, racy acids, superb mineral drive and a long, complex and impeccably balanced finish. This is going to be outstanding. 2026-2060+"  

Burghound, 92-94 Points 

"Note: from a 1 ha parcel of 30 to 65-year-old vines. A cool, pure and airy nose is comprised by aromas of lemon rind, essence of pear, anise and an abundance of Chablis elements. There is both fine volume and intensity to the restrained, mineral-driven and focused finale where despite the evident power, the wonderfully long finish is almost delicate. This is pretty much textbook Vaudésir.*Burghound Sweet Spot!*"
